Ken, I really admire how you’ve leveraged AI to push back against bureaucratic overreach. Your persistence, especially in navigating FOIA & citing federal statutes, sets an important example for other appraisers facing similar pressures.

With constant headlines about M&A activity and frequent inquiries from prospective acquirers, it’s easy for RIA owners to get the impression that an external transaction is the primary path to exit and monetize their business.
